How To Start Your Own Window Washing Service 1

Here's a business that, almost more than any other with equal
potential for real wealth, meets the most strongest requirements
of just about any skeptic.

In fact, there's so much in favour of the "little guy" with this
business, it's a real mystery why more people don't choose this
one as the vehicle for their ultimate independence and financial
security.

This is a business that can make you rich very quickly, it's a
kind of service business that can very profitably be operated by
one person – male or female.

The basic knowledge needed for success is simple and easy to
learn. Very little monetary investment is needed for equipment – usually less than £100.

There are virtually no storage space requirements.

You can operate out of your home for virtually as long as you
like, and yet, there's a real demand for this type of business
everywhere.

The success potential for window washing services is present even
in the smallest of towns as well as the largest metropolitan
areas.

Your risks will be minimal, while your rewards can far surpass
even your wildest dreams.

Although no income claims can be made, and your results will
vary, a one man operation in a city of 50,000 can
gross £4,000 or more per month after just 90 days.

Operating expenses for one persons operations grossing this
amount should be less than £500 per month.

Ideally, your plan should be to solicit new accounts, do the work
yourself and establish a regular customer route.

Once you've established such a route, and you're beginning to
realise a good profit, you should hire part time help to do the
work while you solicit new accounts and establish regular
customers.

You should concentrate on providing regular window washing
services for all the one and two storey office buildings and shop
fronts in your area.

Start with those closest to your home and expand your efforts
outwards.

Choose a busy thoroughfare leading into your city's central area.
Select the one closest to your home, and begin calling on
business owners and shop managers all along this street.

Find out who's currently doing their windows for them, if they
have any complaints, and how you can offer them a better deal.
Always leave a business card, after briefly explaining your
services.

When you've actually investigated the service they're already
contracted for, and you're certain you can offer them a better
deal, put your ideas into the form of a written proposal, and
give it to them.

Don't be afraid to submit a proposal for a better deal, but
remember when you do, your proposal should offer more than just a
cut price.

Undercutting a competitor usually means less profit for you, and
an overall deterioration of your reputation.

It may temporarily result in more work for you, but you're in
business to attain wealth – not work yourself into an early
grave!

If your spouse is at home during the day, they can answer the
phone for you and generally set up appointments for you, while
you're out making sales calls. They may also be able to handle
your accounts.

Should it not be feasible, or if there is no-one at home during
the day, then look around for a good, dependable telephone
answering service.

Many of these telephone answering services also handle typing
jobs, so if you're lacking someone to handle these jobs for you,
chances are that you can find all the services you need without
too much of a search.

It's important with this type of business that you have a "live"
voice answering your calls.

Selecting the right people to handle your calls, and spending the
extra time necessary to train them according to your desires – even paying a little more to have things done the way you want
them done – is almost always well worth the time and added
expense.

Remember, this is a service business with your growth dependent
upon the personal contact you and your representatives have with
prospective clients.

Work on it, develop it, and cultivate your personal contact
transactions.

As the size of your company increases and you hire crews of
people to handle work assignments, you can usually get your
answering service to take on the added duties of job assignment
notification or dispatcher.
